Good bang for the buck!
I have to say that this is a great little drone for the price. If you are looking to buy an affordable drone that has some of the features of the higher price ones, than this is your drone. It is easy to setup and the app seems to be pretty user friendly. I am just getting into drones and have some cheaper models that cost just as much as the Hobby Tiger, and they don't hold a candle to what this drone is capable of. A good friend of mine is a drone pilot, and I showed him this drone, he was impressed as well. I was glad he approved, because he is the real deal. I would highly recommend this drone to anyone that is looking for a drone with all the features this one has, that won't break the bank and you will have tons of fun with.

Front Left Motor Stopped Working
I just took this drone out for it's first flight. I was very excited about this thing because of a guy I follow on youtube. The config was quick and painless and the take off and landing was quite nice. After about 5 minutes of slow hovering type maneuvering the drone seemed to lose some yaw control about 5 ft off the ground so I hit the land button and it came down pretty gentle. When I sat it back down on the pad for take off the front left motor stopped functioning. I turned everything off, removed the battery and put a fresh charged battery in. Turned everything back on and configured it but during take off the front left motor was dead. I guess maybe I received a drone with a bad motor. I will see if customer support with this company can help me out. If not I guess I have to return it :( I will update this review depending on customer service.UPDATE: I was contacted by customer service within a few hours and it seems like they are going to take care of this issue.UPDATE 2: Customer service is fantastic with this company. They took care of my issues.DRONE REVIEW: For something that is technically "toy grade" this drone is awesome. There are other drones with GPS but they are more expensive and are heavier which require folks in the USA to register them with the FAA. With this drone you don't have to worry about FAA registration. I will be flying this more tomorrow in an open field to run a couple batteries through it and see how well the "return to home" and "follow me" works at different distances. So far I am happy with this drone and the customer service was fantastic. 4 stars for now and if my flight goes well tomorrow it deserves a 5 star review.

Excellent drone for all ages, easy to set up and fly, takes great pictures
This turned out to be the perfect birthday gift for my 32 y/o brother in law. I ordered it a little bit last-minute, but it arrived very quickly and in time for his birthday! He is an outdoorsy guy and builds bmx and mtb trails. He said that the "follow me" feature worked really well while he was riding his bike, even on a somewhat windy day.I got to watch him set it up and it was easy and simple. The propellers were already installed, and the (optional) prop guards just clicked in underneath. The drone and the controller were already charged when he unboxed it, so he downloaded the hobby tiger app and clipped his phone into the controller and it was ready to go. The controller fit his iPhone 5 snugly, and it also fit my Samsung galaxy s9+, which is considerably larger.He got a couple photos while he had it up in the air, and he was able to easily send me the pics. The drone also already had a 4 gb card that came with it.The drone itself is the perfect size and very easy to fly and precisely responds to the controller. We did crash it once (pilot error 😂), but, it was sturdy enough that we just got it right back up in the air again. If it had broken when he crashed it, it also came with extra props and extra gears for the motors (awwwesome!!!!).I'm excited that he liked it so much. I have actually already told people about it since drones are super cool and this one is affordable and so easy to set up. I will also be buying another one for one of my younger brothers.

Great drone for starting out!
Hobby Tiger H301S Drone. I've been flying this little guy for about 3 months now. I can't say enough about it. So many features packed into such an inexpensive package - features I'm finding on the DJI Phantom 4 and the Autel X-Star as well for 1/8th the price. Sure you don't have the same range of image quality - but for just some fun in the park or backyard you won't be disappointed. It's robust too - I have to admit with the lower cost I've been more aggressive flying this drone around trees and other obstacles. It's taken a few licks but keeps on ticking. I did replace the plastic gears from the motors to the props, sadly that may be the Achilles heel of this drone BUT the replacement parts were found online for <$10.00 and replaced in 15 minutes.If you have never owned a drone before and the idea of spending $1000 to learn scares you, this is the drone for you - it'll teach you the basics and if you master flying the Hobby Tiger anything else will be a walk in the park. The Starlink app has all the information you need and on-screen controls if you prefer them over a traditional remote. Speaking of remotes, this one pairs up quickly with the drone and fits my LG V30 and Samsung Note 8 - so no fear of larger phones not fitting. The phone and drone connect via wifi, I do recommend putting your phone in airplane mode and only turning on wifi to avoid unwanted interruptions while using it.I would recommend the Hobby Tiger Ranger Drone to anyone looking for an entry level quad copter that is packed full of features and forgiving to learn on.
